Benefit of offline vs online solo franchise?

[PaulChildres]

Just curious as if there are benefits of one vs the other? Im playing on current generation Xbox one.

Load times alone were enough for me to never go back to offline

Downside of Online, is when Xbox, Playstation, Origin servers go down you can't access your franchise. Or if you have an internet outage.

Upside Simming is way faster

That plus updates getting applied quicker. I've gone the cloud route for years now.

Which basically never happens.
Been playing solo online cfms since its inception, and have had less issues than i can count on 1 hand.

This has happened to me maybe once or twice ever.

One thing I like about offline solo franchises is that you can take control of an opposing team to do things like set depth charts, formation subs, and auto subs, then retire that coach and play the game.

I think it's a bit more cumbersome to do these sorts of things in solo cloud franchises.

I don't get why anyone would chose online considering you're forced to use auto-save only, and you can't experiment at all. You're also totally f***ed if there's some weird franchise-ruining glitch.
